Westvleteren 12° – painstakingly brewed by the Sint-Sixtus Abbey in Westvleteren, Belgium – was initially scheduled to debut across the U.S.A. this month. For reasons known only to higher powers, the Abbey has requested that the official public release be delayed until September. However, the Abbey has now given its blessing for a small quantity of the beer to be previewed at The Festival, which takes place on June 23rd and 24th at Mechanics Hall in Worcester, Massachusetts. The Abbey hopes in this modest way to slake the thirst and reward the patience of true beer aficionados as they continue to wait for the Big Release later in the year.

A preview of a new collaboration brew between De Struise & Rio Brewing & Co. The beer is slated to be bottled this month.
This ale was brewed back in 2008, and in collaboration with brew master Rychei Sugawa San from Rio Brewing & Co. Our goal was to brew a Belgian dark golden blond quadrupel with an enormous potential of aromas and flavors, and added complexity due to oak barrel aging. Bourbon barels from Kentucky were chosen due to their very special soft roast quality and noble vanilla flavors. Year upon year, different quality controls were executed, and we finally decided to bottle condition this very special ale in May 2012. Another three moths of cold maturing was done at the brewery, so we could be sure about the absolute quality before releasing to our customers.
Urthel Samaranth 12 Quadrium Ale is a malty, full-bodied special Ale, brewed in a way that only Belgian Brewers can. Huge mouthfeel and layers and levels of flavor make Urthel Samaranth the perfect beer for the end of a meal or at the finish of a special day. And when you want something different, Urthel Samaranth 12 Quadrium Ale is with its fine bitterness, definitely something different… Try it! First brewed at Van Steenberge, now brewed at Koningshoeven – La Trappe brewery.
Night Shift Brewing (Everett, MA) will be releasing 2 bottles soon, and one chili pepper draft only offering:
QUAD RESERVE — The first beer in our “NSB Reserve Series,” this is a quad ale fermented with brown sugar and shiraz grape juice. We homebrewed this recipe for a while without the Shiraz juice, and it was awesome. Then we added the Shiraz, and it became even better. The Quad Reserve clocks in at 10.5% ABV and sips almost like a burgundy with bubbles. Updates about its initial release are on the way soon (follow us on Facebook and Twitter for immediate info!). In the meantime, here’s the bottle label:
SOMER WEISSE — A tribute to our Somerville homebrewing roots, this is a Berliner Weisse style sour ale brewed with lemongrass and ginger. We really enjoy Berliner Weisse beers in general, but noticed that they’re a little hard to find around here. We also wanted to “shift” the style a bit (typical beers in this category are around 3% ABV), so we cranked it up to 5.3% ABV and gave it some lemongrass and ginger kick. Some might mistake it for a tart champagne or sparkling lemonade, but it’s absolutely beer. And it’s delicious. Like the Quad Reserve, release details forthcoming (hint:Facebook. hint: Twitter). For now, check out the bottle label:
VIVA HABANERA (DRAFT) — This beer has a few people way too excited. Those people may or may not be us. Our recipe man, Rob Burns, let the Cuban half of his roots inspire this beer’s initial recipe. What he came up with was a rye ale brewed with agave nectar and aged on habanero peppers: Viva Habanera (translated from Spanish to English: “Live Habanera”).
